So then if I post just the bare hostname, although client apps may change that into a link, the filter sees what was originally entered? And a filter including the https part would then let that domain name pass but catch all the shared links?
Yeah, for example a filter for "google.com" with whole word un-ticked would filter posts with google.com URLs in them.
You don't even have to write the whole domain, a partial match is enough, but this may also filter other domains by accident.
Or you could filter for a specific URL including https etc.

"This is nothing new. Operating on Tor for over 12 years, we knew going in that we would have infrastructure in xx-eyes countries and be subject to potential sniffing.
I'll let you in on a little secret. The time people spend obsessing about hiding from the government puts you in a de facto state of servitude to them. They do not require any form of operation psychological or physical space. Most people have created their own psyop.
If all of this bothers you, cut your fibre line and live in a cave."

@SpaceLifeForm @Day Use X Mockin' Uh
Airplane mode will turn off networking which will kill Tor. Though you could turn off WiFi and use Tor on your mobile data. The reason why no Mobile device is safe for anonymity becomes apparent when you start looking at the Android Development Environment. A significant part of the processing requires a round trip to Google's Servers for lots of tasks. So any app could jeopardize your anonymity. The same with IOS this is why mobile devices are not recommended for anonymity.
For most of us this is a non-issue and will not effect us at all. Because we are just trying to avoid being tracked and all of the telemetry. We are not concerned with being truly anonymous or as anonymous as one can be on an international network.
